Use a heat gun and a wallpaper scraper mate, it will fall off :wink:
If you use a grinder you will regret it come cleaning up time :lol:

About Ԛ£20 from B&Q for a decent Bosch example. Worth every penny - found dozens of uses for mine since I bought it. Even as a hairdrier when the Philips expired!!!!!!!!!

you can just use ice packs. as in the bags of ice you buy from the shop. leave these on and it should just break up. ive not tried this method only used a heat hun before. but a heat gun leaves behind the sticky stuff on the floor, where as using ice doesn't.
